New Holland T7.270 Methane Power Wins Sustainable Tractor of the Year 2027

• Prestigious award recognizes New Holland's continued investment in alternative fuels and sustainable agricultural technology
• The 270 hp tractor combines biomethane compatibility with power and performance comparable to its diesel equivalent
• The award reinforces New Holland's leading position in alternative-fuel tractors and recognizes its long-term commitment to more sustainable agriculture

New Holland has won the Sustainable Tractor of the Year 2027 award with the T7.270 Methane Power, its 270 hp tractor powered by compressed natural gas and renewable biomethane produced from agricultural waste streams.

The prestigious international award recognizes the tractor's ability to deliver the performance, autonomy and comfort required for demanding agricultural operations while offering an alternative-fuel solution. The recognition also independently validates New Holland's long-term commitment to production-ready alternative-fuel technologies, supporting farmers in achieving both productivity and sustainability goals.

Sustainable power without compromising performance

Building on the experience gained with the T6.180 Methane Power, the T7.270 Methane Power extends the brand's methane technology into a higher power category, making it suitable for biomethane plant operators, large arable farms, contractors and other customers carrying out demanding field and transport work.

"New Holland began investing in alternative fuels nearly two decades ago, because we believed agriculture could play an active role in producing renewable energy, not simply consuming it," said Darragh Mullin, New Holland T7 Long Wheelbase Global Product Manager. "With the T7.270 Methane Power, we have doubled down on that commitment by bringing methane technology to a tractor with the power, performance and versatility required for demanding work. This award is a strong endorsement of the potential of methane technology to support a more sustainable future for agriculture."

Powered by an FPT Industrial 6.7-litre six-cylinder NEF engine, the T7.270 Methane Power delivers up to 1,159 Nm of torque, matching the performance of its diesel equivalent. Equipped with New Holland's Auto Command™ continuously variable transmission, it offers a 750-hour service interval and, with the optional front-mounted range extender, up to 11 hours of transport autonomy.

Built on the proven T7 platform, the tractor is equipped with advanced technology features, including the Horizon™ Ultra cab, IntelliView™ 12 display, SideWinder™ armrest and New Holland Intelligence™ connected services, enhancing operator comfort, machine management and connectivity through the FieldOps™ portal.

Connecting the tractor, its fuel and the farm

The T7.270 Methane Power can operate on compressed natural gas or upgraded biomethane, including fuel produced from livestock manure and other organic materials. For farms with suitable production or refueling infrastructure, this creates an opportunity to reduce reliance on fossil diesel and use renewable fuel produced from agricultural resources.

In partnership with Bennamann, a UK-based clean-energy technology company and part of CNH, New Holland supports a circular farming model in which fugitive methane from livestock manure can be captured, processed and refined for use as tractor fuel. This approach can help farms reduce emissions and work towards greater energy self-sufficiency.
